Tidal Earthcache

Now these caches are being retired at the end of the month. I've been watching the tide charts and it happens that a projected low tide on 12/31 at 5:06 +/- of -1.1. It's not the lowest, but it's one of the few that are that low and the only one that's a candidate before it's archived. If you're in the OOB area around that time, you might want to check it out.

I am TAT !!!!

I have not been told anything by GC.com.

There is a yearly low tide; The next one is at 6:20 pm on 30Jan06. If you want to get really close, this is the best chance. Last year, there 6 or 8 crazy people out there in the dead of winter! And, even though the town dredged the channel and moved the cache, we still had a lot of fun.

Each year, sands from the Saco River are dumped at Pine Point. Will the sands be built back up and expose the cache or will we need to wait another year?

Monday, January 30

If you have any interest in doing this cache, fair warning that Monday 1/30 is probably the day to try. The low tide is projected as -1.73 for Monday's low tide at about 5:35 p.m. +/- and -1.77 for Tuesday's evening low tide (6:21 p.m. +/-). Given the weather forecast for Tuesday (and the fact that I'll be in Florida by then), I'll be headed there tomorrow. If you miss this one, there's one more opportunity in 2006 when the tide is this low - Feb 28.
